Agastya (Akshay Kumar) is a space scientist, working on the development of a communication system, to communicate with aliens. But Agastya, losses the faith of his seniors and is allotted with a deadline of one month to conclude his project with some substantial results. In the mean time, Agastya is informed by his friend Diva (Sonakshi Sinha), regarding his father's illness, on hearing this Agastya reaches his native village Paglapur. Soon after reaching there, Agastya finds that he was called on a false pretext of illness by his father. On getting apprised about truth, he decides to move back to US, but after hearing the plight of the inhabitants of Paglapur, due to the brushing aside of the village by the government because of its being absent from the demarcated map of India, he makes his mind to come out with some solution for the problem. Joker very well proves the fact that it's not necessary for an innovative idea to turn into an interesting cine flick. The story of Joker falls flat on ground, as soon as its takes off. For some, this may be an innovative idea to blend a fantasy adventure with rustic background, but actually it turned out to be a disaster for the director. In fact it won't be wrong to say that the script of Joker seemed to be knitted just for heck of doing it. Contrary to his usual style of quick witted and spontaneous humour, in Joker Akshay looks monotonous and repetitive while Sonakshi seems to be assisting Akshay throughout the course of the movie, with no scope to exhibit her acting adroitness.
